Bunny

Driving in my car one night
I noticed something funny
Running along beside me
Was a ragged little bunny

When asked what he'd been doing
Much to my delight
He told me all about
His wonderous, crazy night

Hiding in the candy store
'Till all the lights were out
Running up and down the aisles
Trying not to shout!!

Eating all the lollies
Having so much fun
Getting very full
'Till he found it hard to run

Slipping out the front door
Running for his life
Sprinting up the road
His sides splitting like a knife

In and out the shadows
He was in a spot of strife
Who he'd failed to see in hiding
Was the candy store owner's wife!!


I Hate Pizza!!

I sometimes really wonder
I can't think possibly why
Of all the foods, why Pizza?
So I won't even try!

Pizza is so blerk!
And tastes like mouldy goo
It really is repulsive
I'm sure it's from the loo!

All that melted cheese
And lots of gooby bits
It makes me want to puke
It certainly is the pits!!

I really begin to shudder
And start knocking at the knees
I can't possibly eat it
Oh no, don't make me please!!


Winning The Teddy Bear

Bobbing for those apples
Throwing balls at a wall
Taking on the strong man
Didn't we have a ball?

Chucking darts at balloons
I'm trying not to stare
I want to win the Teddy Bear
At the Wodonga County Fair!!!


I Will Survive

Jumping off the roof top
Trying hard to fly
Not worried what the neighbours think
As they're passing by

Falling, falling very fast
Watching the ground come up live
I'm scared about the injuries
But I know I will survive!!


Pop Goes The Weasle

"Pop goes the weasle"
We hear the children say
But, do we really know about
This game they love to play?

Popping weasles isn't fun
If you're a weasle, true?
Then shouldn't you pop something else?
Or you'll make the weasles blue!!


Birdy In The Tree Top

Oh birdy in the tree top
How beautifully you sing
I watch you jump from branch to branch
And play on your little swing

How I'd love to be able to sing
Half as sweet as thee
You look so proud, so magestic, so sure
Up in your old oak tree


Smelly Feet!

"Pew" says father
"Pong" Sayes Mum
They look at me with faces grim
Now is the time to run!

"Bath" sayes mother
"Now" sayes Dad
I run like mad across the room
This is no passing fad!

"Wash" sayes father
"Properly" sayes Mum
I move so quick, up the stairs
So they can't smack my bum!

"Hurry" sayes mother
"Up" sayes Dad
I pull the plug and leave the tub
It really wasn't bad!


Mustafa

Two big black eyes
Staring back at me
One big dopey grin
For all the world to see

Tons of soft brown fur
The top flattened just right
Two open arms
Waiting to hug me tight

Mustafa you're my friend
You mean alot to me
They say you're just a teddy
But not the way I see

You listen to me talk
And hug me when I cry
I really want you near
Even when I die

My best friend to the end
My mate when times are dim
You give me all your love
When i really want to give in

You're more then just a teddy
You're my confidant and friend
You can't answer me back
So our friendship will never end!!


Monster Under My Bed

There's a monster under my bed
I'm really sure he's there
I don't want to look
So I cuddly my teddy bear

I know if I roll over
He'll stare back at me
And eat me for his dinner
Before I can break free

This is getting silly
I'm shaking and I'm afraid
But I really do not know
How to make him go away!

I call on all my courage
And close my eyes up tight
I roll over on my tummy
I hope I'll be alright

I ry to open my eyes
To take a little peek
Maybe he'll be friendly
And will just want to speak

First I open one eye
My nose is on the ledge
Then I open the other eye
And pear over the edge

I suck in all my breath
Then let it all out quick
I'm feeling really silly
And also rather thick

What I thought was a monster
And was scared of as can be
Was nothing but my stuffed rabbit
Looking up at me!


Toothache

I have an awful toothache, the pain won't go away
It feels like it's exploded and the piec has gone astray
It hurts to chew my food and even when I talk
It pounds and hurts incessantly when I try to walk

My mouth feels like its on fire, I wish I could put it out
I touch my tooth so carefully, but still I want to shout
I hate the bloody dentist, I really am ashamed
I'm scared of him, if truthful, but he causes me more pain!

My tooth is getting worse, the pain I cannot bear
So off to the dentis I go, I wish I wasn't there
He looks at me with worry, he knows I like him ... NOT!
He pulls out a huge needle, oh no he should be shot!

I screw my face up tight and wait for him to say
"now open up your mouth, I'll take that pain away"
I try to look all confident, but clench my fists up tight
I look at him with doubt, I hope he will be right

He jabs me with the needle, it hurts less then I thought
The pain it start to waver, and then goes down to nought
He takes out the rotten tooth and throws it all away
I was silly to be afraid of him, now I'll have a brighter day!


I Wish

I wish I was a worm, I think it would be fun
I'd crawl around in the dirt all day, but wouldn't try to run
Worms, they have no legs you see, it's painful but it's true
So, running would not get me far, and that makes me blue ... sooooo ....

I wish I was a butterfly, fluttering around all day
Flying here and landing there, that's how I'd spend my day
But butterflies don't live that long, and are soon just a memory
I'll think again, I'm trying hard, to make a wish you see .... soooo ....

I wish I was a spider, I'd really have a ball
Wiggling, jiggling and crawling, running up the wall
Hairy with eight legs, living in a tree
But some people are scared of spiders ... soooo ... I think I'll just be me!
